“Everything that ran in Windows 7 should also run in Windows 10. Boris Schneider-Johne, Microsoft’s German marketing manager for enthusiasts, explained the situation during Gamescom earlier in August (translation courtesy of Rock, Paper, Shotgun). In Windows 10, however, that’s no longer possible: Windows 10 does not allow the SecuRom and SafeDisc DRM schemes to run, which means the games will fail to start. Those DRM mechanisms are gone now, but people still love to pop in their old Grand Theft Auto IV or Spore DRM-laden discs and play a little of these classics. The DRM was accused of causing harware problems and were incredibly invasive on a user’s system. At the turn of the century, it was hard to find gamers-or gaming journalists, for that matter-who didn’t despise SecuRom and SafeDisc digital rights management copy protection on some of the top titles of that age.
